new Magico speakers the Q5

Mapman and Tpreaves, these prices are just plain silly ridiculous, and yes, there are many others in this wonderful economy.

There's other speakers out there that sound just as good, if not better for way less (same goes for other audio stuff like amps and cables)

Whether I have the extra dough or not, I learned through experience.

In the end, I'm pretty darn sure Magicos, Avalons, Tidals, Wilsons, etc. could be well-tuned into a listening environment and enjoyed.

Would we still be listening to the equipment ?

Would the performance sound close enough to give more than a vague illusion of the real thing ?

Would we come away impressed without fatigue ?

These are the questions I've been asking myself over the years of listening experience.

I guess it would be boring as hell if everyone here had the same
set-up, even if the sound was stellar ?

Happy Holidays !
